My Girls in Science Experience – by Eugena Choi
Last February, when I heard about the Woods Hole Girls in Science program, I was excited. It combined my passion for conservation with marine biology, and I decided – on the spot – that I was going to go. I worked on my application for months before sending it in, and when I got the…
Read MoreEnjoying Oysters Safely in Massachusetts
Each year, millions of fresh raw oysters are consumed in Massachusetts, most of them in the warm summer months. During that time, aquaculturists in the Commonwealth take extra precautions to safeguard their harvests from the heat, include icing oysters at the time of harvest – a step that can double or triple the weight of…

Around New England there are perhaps 40 – 50 farmers of all sizes and experience levels working small ocean plots of a…

As a part of this summer’s O-STEAM program, I was able to spend a day with the fellows talking about how drifters can be used to study the transport of water within Cape Cod Bay. Drifters have been used by oceanographers to track ocean currents for more than four decades. They’re relatively inexpensive, versatile, and…
